Social Media Marketing

Linked Alberta

Many people are using social media in various ways.  Kim Kerr is finding a way to not only benefit her personal image and brand online, but also to help others.  Kim realizes that although the internet allows us to interact with people all over the world – we still have our closes relationships with the people that are geographically close to us.  And at time we need help to build these relationships.  To that end Kim has created Linked Alberta.

High Impact Conversatons on Social Media

Facebook Personal Profile Employer Link

There is a very important link at the top of your Facebook profile that many people are not using properly – the link to your employer. As this is prime online real estate as well as top of mind for many people when they think of you (‘I know Sarah, she works at ABC Clothing Co.’) you should have this link properly formatted.  It is set up to go to an organization that would employ you.  That could be a group page, a Facebook Fan page or a community page.  The problem is that Facebook often does not know or recognize your business (or
